This sounds like it could be useful as a user option rather than a
`defvar', no? Or perhaps a buffer-local variable?

To me, this is a programmatic concern and only the program understands the context in which it is called.  In a sense, this is buffer-local equivalent as uniquify-managed is itself buffer-local.  If this is made global, I sense there may be window-state-get uses that depend on uniquify names but since I can't survey the field, I think this would be dangerous.  We can always promote this to a user option later.
